61st and Peña

DEN’s 61st and Peña pay-on-foot parking lot is conveniently located on RTD’s University of Colorado A Line.

Only credit card payments are accepted. We do not issue refunds.

Parking is first-come, first-serve. There are no discounts for using this lot; nor is there any free parking.

From this parking lot, the A Line commuter rail is available for $9 to the airport (transit time 11 minutes) or Union Station and numerous stops along the way (see more A Line information at http://www.rtd-denver.com/a-line.shtml).

This parking lot is managed by the City and County of Denver, Denver International Airport, not RTD. The only transportation service at this lot is RTD’s A Line commuter service (train). There are no shuttles or bus services from this location.

The lot has 800 spaces total, of which 609 are beneath canopies that double as solar electric panels. The lot also has 11 electric vehicle charging stations (all Level 1 type units), free to use on a first-come, first-serve basis, located at the south and west sides of the lot. Handicapped spaces are located on the south and west sides of the lot, closest to the commuter train platform.

Once you enter the lot, park your vehicle first – this ensures there is an available space prior to you paying (there are no refunds). Memorize your license plate number or take a picture of it, then go to one of eight kiosks located throughout the lot to pre-pay your parking fee.

"Extend-By-Phone" option is available, but you must opt-in by providing your cell phone number at the time of purchase. A service charge for use will apply.

If you’re parking for several days you can save money by purchasing a 30 day pass for $36 versus 30 multiple days at $4/day. Example: if you need 35 days, a 60 day pass is cheaper, and so on.

The Pay-On-Foot kiosk displays the following options:

Up to 12 hours - $2

Up to 24 hours - $4

Multiple days - $4 each day (i.e. 10 days x $4 = $40, 11 days x $4 = $44, and so on; see pass rates below)
